WmiConfigurationAttribute Class
The WmiConfiguration attribute indicates that an assembly contains code that implements a WMI provider by using the WMI.NET Provider Extensions model. The attribute accepts parameters that establish the high-level configuration of the implemented WMI provider.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
The WmiConfigurationAttribute type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | WmiConfigurationAttribute | Initializes a new instance of the WmiConfigurationAttribute class that specifies the WMI namespace in which the WMI provider will expose classes. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | HostingGroup | Gets or sets the hosting group for the WMI provider. |
![]() | HostingModel | Gets or sets the hosting model for the WMI provider. |
![]() | IdentifyLevel | Gets or sets a value that specifies whether the WMI provider can impersonate its callers. If the value is false, the provider cannot impersonate, and if the value is true, the provider can impersonate. |
![]() | NamespaceSecurity | Gets or sets a Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) string that specifies the security descriptor on the namespace in which the provider exposes management objects. |
![]() | Scope | Gets or sets the WMI namespace in which the WMI provider exposes classes. |
![]() | SecurityRestriction | Gets or sets a security descriptor for the WMI provider. For more information, see the SecurityDescriptor property information in the "__Win32Provider" topic in the MSDN online library at http://www.msdn.com. |
![]() | TypeId | When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | IsDefaultAttribute | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetIDsOfNames | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetTypeInfo | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetTypeInfoCount | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::Invoke | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
The following table lists the parameters accepted by this attribute along with what aspect of the provider configuration it enables you to control.
Parameter | Configures |
|---|---|
[Scope] | The namespace in which your provider exposes classes. |
[NamespaceSecurity] |
|
[HostingModel] |
|
[IdentifyLevel] |
|
[HostingGroup] | The hosting group that the provider belongs to. This parameter only applies to in-process providers. |
[SecurityRestriction] | The security (DACL) on the WMI provider. |
Note |
|---|
The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: MayLeakOnAbort. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
// Specify that this assembly contains code that implements a WMI
// Provider. Use the assembly:WmiConfiguration attribute to define
// the WMI namespace, the hosting model, and the impersonation mode
// of the WMI provider.
// The attribute below specifies that the class this provider
// exposes to WMI will be in the root/MortgageCalc namespace, will
// use the decoupled hosting model and will not allow the provider
// to impersonate its callers.
[assembly: WmiConfiguration("root/MortgageCalc",HostingModel = ManagementHostingModel.Decoupled, IdentifyLevel = false)]
